The word tree in hebrew is “etz” which is the “base” for the word “utz” that is job’s country. Once again I have no idea what’s the christian translation to the bible, I’ll just translate what rashi writes: “etz pri” – (fruit tree – nuriel) rashi writes: fruit tree – “that the taste of the tree will be like the taste of the fruit and she (earth – nuriel) didn’t do so but she did a tree that makes fruit and not a fruit tree and that’s why when adam was cursed and punished she was cursed and punished too”. On genesis chapter 3 eve says to the snake that she and adam were told not to eat from the tree and not to touch it or they’ll both die and then the snake tells her “you will not die”. Rashi on the snake’s “you will not die” – “the snake pushed eve till she touched the tree and eve saw that she was still alive and then the snake told her if there’s no death in touching there’s no death in eating”. It goes on in chapter 3 when the snake tell’s adam and eve “you will not die because god knows that once you’ve eaten from it your eyes will open…”. Rashi on “because god knows” – “the snake told eve that god has eaten from the tree in order to create the world”. Then the plot goes on when eve is eating the fruit and at once “gives to her man too”. Rashi on “gives to her man too” – “eve was afraid that she will die and he will live and marry another woman”. On that same line rashi writes on the word “too” – “too” –“ eve gave it to the all the animals in the garden too”. Then after they’ve eaten the fruit it goes to “and the eyes of them both were open and they knew they were naked…” Rashi on that – “it’s not about eyes that see something but about wisdom because even the blind knows that he’s naked! So what’s they knew they were naked? They had only one promise to keep and stripped off of it”. Rashi on the figleaf – “figleaf” – “it was a figtree, and with the same thing they sinned they were fixed" and rashi writes – “why then the word figtree isn't there but only tree? Because god didn't want that everyone will point at the tree and say that's the thing the ruined this world". These are only few notes from rashi I'll do my best to send more to you.

Immediately, I saw that she was better and different than anyone else I had ever heard. I stayed through all the jazz (which I love). only a couple of early 80's albums didn't catch me but that may well be I was raising an infant alone and was preoccupied and unfocused. I have all her stuff esp. love Hejira and it has given me moments of strength and beauty. I saw her in Boston. I traveled from this god forsaken place (Northern Maine). Enjoyed it very much but the seats could have been better. I saw her once before in Providence around 1979 (Shadows and Light concert). I think she is the best of the best. Why do you talk about Dr. Laura on this list and how do I follow it and get involved?

And welcome to the group. As you have already noted, it is a very diverse group, and MOSTLY we stay on our topic but sometimes we wander and discuss other musical and arts topics or sometimes REALLY go out in left field. When we do that, we put an "NJC" in the subject line of our message so that those who only want to read & write about Joni can tune it out. NJC means "No Joni Content". Our brilliant webmaster Les has created a special list which will filter out all the NJC messages (as long as the participants will remember to use the NJC tag, which has slipped of late, myself included...) If you want Only Joni, then you have the option of subscribing to the "OnlyJoni List" or "OnlyJoni Digest"... Again, thanks for finding us and I look forward to your participation! Bob NP(Now Playing): "In France They Kiss on Main Street", San Francisco '79. PS: I was out of town yesterday and drove back from Knoxville, TN with a co-worker who is a big Deadhead. He's been to 233 shows and can remember moments from them all and has a huge collection of tapes. We had a good time talking about our collections, his Dead stuff and my Joni stuff. Also found out that he was at the '79 show in East Troy, WI that got rained out. I said I had that sow on tape and he was flipping out! Said he was on the sixth row and it was raining SO hard he was ankle deep in water, but he was so mesmerized by Joni he didn't even notice!

You can see lots of timber frame houses over there. HOSL is featured in a brilliant book published by DK last year called 100 Best Album Covers (The Stories Behind The Sleeves). It's written by the founders of Hipgnosis who designed famous sleeves for people like Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones etc. It's a really lavish and informative book and seems ridiculously cheap at around a tenner. It's got a forward by Peter Blake who's retrospective at the Tate was one of the best art experiences I've ever had. Phew ! Unfortunately they didn't talk to Joni but they do make a few interesting points which may interest my fellow inner circle pals. The house in the far corner is an aerial view of her house in Bel Air. Norman Seeff explains how he got the strange colour tone on the pool shot "I went to Joni's house, where we hung out and took some pictures. I suggested some shots in the pool, which turned out to be very evocative and sensuous. It was probably by accident rather than design that they appeared on the cover at all. The photograph is in monochromatic colour, shot with a Nikon camera on Kodachrome film in natural daylight." And this to further muddy the Rolling Stone waters : "In 1991, Rolling Stone voted the album number 11 in the best album covers of all time." Much as I love FTR I have to admit that this is probably her finest hour.

Is there a more unusual song? I mean unusual in its musical conception (apart from the thematic density of her lyric): a) superimposed on the Burundi rhythms (with their shouting!) b) the farfisa sonorities c) those simple, nagging, echoing figures on the organ d) the chromatic severity of her melody line Did I leave anything out? I also mean unusual as in original, odd, weird (even)-- not unusual as in excellent. Two other unusual Joni songs that I'm familiar with are "Smokin'" and "Shadows and Light"-- but are they as unusual as the Jungle Line? I think not.

Joni tells of meeting John Lennon, but it was during his LA "lost weekend" period when he was separated from Yoko.

I want to express a BIG, LARGE, ENORMOUS thank-you to my generous friend from South Carolina, Bob the Joni Guy!!! Thanks to you, Bob, I am able to sit here, on this winter Sunday afternoon in Sydney (well, the Blue Mountains west of Sydney), and experience something of the magic of a Joni event that took place only a month ago, thousands of miles away on the other side of the world. Not only am I holding in my hand an original concert program, but I am also listening to a 2-CD recording of Joni’s performance at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles on 12th May. All those concert reports I read by American jmdlers are now becoming far more meaningful and, when I shut my eyes and listen to the applause and the other sounds of the audience, I can almost imagine that I am in the concert hall myself. The wonder of a ‘live’ recording! The wonder of the internet that can make this possible!! Thanks heaps, Bob. I am truly grateful to you for this package of Joni treasure! Bob sent me five copies of the concert program. I am keeping one, of course, and copies have already been reserved for Gerald (sent last Friday), Vanessa, Ange and Alan, the Tassie Devil. That leaves none! If there are any other Aussies who would like one – Hell, do you have any left across the Tasman? I am also prepared to copy the concert recording (I trust I’m allowed to do this, Bob!) for any jmdlers living down under who would like a copy. I am, however, technologically challenged in that I don’t own a CD burner, so can only copy it on to cassette tapes. If this doesn’t bother you and you’re interested in getting a copy, contact me off list. Now, it’s back to the concert for me. What a pleasant way to spend a Sunday afternoon! Cheers, John (in Sydney). __________________________________________________________________ Get your free Australian email account at http://www.start.com.au ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 18 Jun 2000 01:13:41 -0500 From: Michael Paz Subject: Welcome to the other side Hi Kardinel- Welcome. And you ARE involved now. This is a wonderful place where we talk about Joni stuff, trade Joni stuff, get together for Joni Fests (make sure to chek out the joni fests at www.jmdl.com/jonifests . I just hosted one in New Orleans. There are all types of discussions, and a few little wars that go on now and then. Belly up to the bar and join in on any of the discussions going on now. If you are really brave you can go back in the archives and see how the whole thing started. Are you a musician? I visited Maine last year in September after the 2nd annual Topsfield, Ma. Jonifest and I probably will again.
